While searching for ideas of what to cover in my first blog post of 2020, I was reminded of an awesome tradition a co-worker of mine started with his wife eight years ago…an annual bucket list! So I did a little research and narrowed it down to 10 different categories of focus and even added…

Out with the Old, in with the New!
Often, when a new year is about to begin, we see and hear people talking about “New Year, New Me!” And just as often, we make the same resolutions that we did the previous year(s). Then around now, at the end of the year, we beat ourselves up for not achieving everything that we thought…
Marathon Recap (yes, finally)
So since I’ve had some time to let it settle, I figured it was time to give the full run-down of my first Marathon experience. It’s long, detailed, and probably boring for most of you. But I wanted to get it down 🙂 If you have any questions or anything, let me know! You know…
Week #1 Marathon Training
UPDATE: I decided it was too much to start training this early for a marathon and pushed it off until July. I didn’t keep up with posting here, but updated everything on Social Media. Check out my Marathon Recap from December for the full story! April 17 – So the first day was a scheduled…
Half Marathon #3 Recap
I figure since it’s been a month, I can finally do the recap for my third half marathon. As disappointing as it was, I also learned a lot and it hasn’t scarred me permanently 😛 Thanks for following my journey! Training: I had planned on doing the 12 week Hal Higdon plan, like I did for…
Take Control
So… it’s the second day of the new year. This is usually the time for people to make their resolutions and decide what kind of goals they are going to achieve in 2o17. Yesterday I talked about my goals for the year, in regards to TONS of different things…health, fitness, love, life, friendship, extracurricular activities,…
Fresh Start 2017
I woke up this morning, drank a full glass of water before I even got out of bed, and started my 3 Day Refresh. This will help me kickstart this new year, fresh start. No new year, new me…I’m still the same person today than I was last night at 11:59 p.m. 😀 But, as…
See Cat Run
Well, here we are…week 12. Three days away from my first half marathon. I posted weekly updates until week 4, then combined weeks 5 and 6, finally giving up posting about it altogether for some reason. I figured I needed to document everything, even minimally, just so I can remember this in the future! I…
Half Marathon Training – Weeks 5 & 6 Update
Sorry I’ve been kind of distant lately…work has been a little hectic, then we had house guests two weekends in a row! My training is going great!! Week 5 my shorter runs were 4 miles, which I completed in 36:08 and 35:48. My longer run was supposed to be 6 miles, but I figured that…
Half Marathon Training – 4 week update
So this week was great for my shorter runs but my longer run was a little more disappointing. Repeated last week’s distances, so my shorter ones were 3.5 and my longer run today was 5 miles again. This week’s shorter runs came in at 31:29 and 31:20, which was better than last week’s 31:41 and…
